Instagram’s Twitter competitor, Threads, is available now

Threads uses your Instagram login and supports posting 500-character text updates, photos, and videos

[{"selector":"#anim-c6c691fb-2d86-4b0b-b4d4-f76058511421","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5148932a-8592-436b-9859-1a02c74af3f6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -298.31352%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

You can access Threads at Threads.net or by downloading the app for iOS and Android

[{"selector":"#anim-5e255f55-a50c-4b9c-946e-2a234e62b716","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-238a70bf-06b8-4493-a3b3-85ccb79f9e52","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 168.20617%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Threads is closely tied to Instagram. Easily follow all the same people you follow on Instagram.

[{"selector":"#anim-7c459732-c86a-440d-a4cc-7500d6d69c11","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1dca33f-6732-4780-8ae9-d42cd4b77b9e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 135.54176%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

There’s no option to switch between streams of recommended and following-only content

[{"selector":"#anim-4c7afdc3-9024-4626-a17b-f89bc634bcdd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c2eefda3-f6e0-4ae2-9a75-fb7b3c380bcc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.47221%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Threads looks relatively similar to Twitter, featuring a minimal interface with the options to like, comment, repost, and share threads

[{"selector":"#anim-8541d575-14ec-4925-bf2c-97485e1467ac","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-45158bb4-e9a9-462c-9d78-1bf9b4c6bfb9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 127.16047%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
